BRITISH Belt-Back Suits and Sports Jackets
Uncanny how that light-ish grey goes with everything. Probably why you can't get it anymore. -
movie hats that inspired you...
Swell! 5'6" without the hat and 5'10" with it! Speaking of Irish tough guy actors with hats, here's Paul Kelly in about 1937, showing where Indiana Jones got the look. -

The Age of Entitlement
About naturalness in one's "skin"...it sure helps if you know about good fit and can make it happen. This is where the chicken and the egg race down the slippery slope, as it were, where tailored menswear is concerned. A good fit there is getting to be a luxury, even as (and because) the suit is...- Fletch

Music suggestions 20's 30's big band & jazz?
I have a story about that tune. My trio and I were playing one cold night at the 7th Regiment Armory in New York for the world renowned Winter Antique Show. We spotted Bobby Short, the singing piano man, hanging out digging us. I said to my guitar and bass player, "Can you back me on these... -

Goatskin vs Horsehide
Gyms. Aaaarggg. They smell. Not to mention the whatever-replaced-disco music, the crappy daytime tv, and the sweat on everything.- Fletch

Goatskin vs Horsehide
Can I throw in an observation about - of all things - fit? Those of us in our Difficult Middle Years™ find that many well tailored jackets give a close fit around the midsection. This is actually more tolerable with goatskin than it is with horsehide. Goat just has more give. I'd compare it...- Fletch

Admiral's A-1 Jacket
...and that price was realized even tho it's halfway to being Washington's hatchet - nothing original but the shell, label, and maybe the buttons. And no way of knowing what the original liner or cuffing might have looked like.- Fletch

Music suggestions 20's 30's big band & jazz?
Back at 'cha with another rarity from Selvedge Selvin, whose music was always "all wool and a yard wide." He must have sold millions of records, but those he cut in 1932 survive in only a handful of copies. Here's Paul Small singing All of a Sudden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsfNx6r9o0M -
What are you listening to?
In 1934 Rudy Vallée had a movie, and song, called Sweet Music. I don't care for Vallée, but it's a good song, kind of emblematic of the dance band era, in the hands of Angelo Ferdinando's hotel ork. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RUP9Uu7gsI -
